Hi Essie, we do not recommend having laser treatments performed while you are pregnant. If you are considering using a home kit device it would be best to seek medical approval from your doctor first. We’d also suggest having a read of our blog on our website for more information on the dangers & risks of at home IPL hair removal devices, the link is: https://victoriancosmetic.com.au/2014/12/the-dangers-risks-of-at-home-ipl-hair-removal-devices/

Hi Jasmin, we do not recommend having laser treatments performed while you are pregnant. Although there are no studies to prove laser hair removal whilst pregnant is safe or not (such a study would be unethical to begin with), we prefer to err on the side of caution and resume laser treatments once you have given birth. Have a nice weekend. 🙂

When I was 28wks pregnant , I’m 30wks pregnant now I had candela lazer on my underarms , Brazilian and my left upper shoulder due to excess hair from pigmentation . I have never had lazer done before in my previous pregnancies and this was my first time. Will this lazer treatment have an effect on my baby?

Thank-you
